Original Toronto Star caption: Big, long stretch, Martina Navrotilova has a reach that some of her opponents may think spans the entire tennis court. The top-ranked player was in action against American Kathy Horvath, whom she hammered, 6-2, 6-4, to advance to today's semi-finals in the Players's Challenge. She meets Hana Mandlikova, only one of three players to have stretched the 1983 Wimbledon champion to three sets this year. And Mandlikova has accomplished that feat twice.
